Pageloads since time immoral

Once upon a time, many years ago, in the East, there lived an Emperor.He was a very wealthy and happy man.He had six hundred wives who had borne him many children and he loved them all.All his children were girls and so he had no heir, which was perhaps the one thing in life which disappointed him.So imagine his surprise and delight when, one day, one of his wives presented him with a new-born son.

Over the years he watched his little boy grow and became increasingly devoted to him.Just before his son’s fifth birthday he took him to one side and said,“Son, you are the joy of my life, I cannot do enough for you.What would you like?Say what you want and you shall have it”.

The boy replied, “Daddy, I’d like an aeroplane”.

So the Emperor, who was not stuck for cash and not wishing to do things by halves, bought Delta Airlines.

As his son grew the Emperor loved him all the more and when his sixth birthday approached the Emperor took him to one side and said,“Son, you are a delight to behold, nothing is too much for you.What would you like?Say what you want and you shall have it”,

to which the boy replied,“Daddy, I’d like a car”.

So the Emperor, not wishing to do things by halves, bought General Motors.

The boy grew bigger and stronger each day and ever-more wonderful in the eyes of the Emperor so, before his son’s seventh birthday, the Emperor took him to one side and said,“Son, you are the apple of my eye, you cannot imagine the happiness you give to me.What can I give you?Say what you want and you shall have it”.

The boy replied,“Daddy, I’d like to see a film”.

So the Emperor, not wishing to do things by halves, bought the MGM studios and the rights to all the films produced there.

Nearing his son’s eighth birthday the Emperor took him in hand and said,“Son, you are an inspiration to us all, what can I do for you?Say what you want and you shall have it”.

The boy had been watching western movies for the previous year so it should be no surprise that he replied,“Daddy, I’d like a cowboy outfit”.

So the Emperor, not wishing to do things by halves, bought Halliburton.
